The displacement in simple harmonic motion is maximum when the velocity is zero
Answer: Option 5
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Displacement is the measure of variation between the end position and starting position. So displacement is path independent, it is completely based on them. As in simple harmonic motions, the net displacement is zero if the velocity seems to be maximum.
Because the motion of simple harmonic is to return to the starting point for a single oscillation. So, the displacement is opposite directions to the velocity. Thus if the displacement is required to be maximum for the simple harmonic motions, the velocity should be zero.
The horizontal motion of a launched projectile affects its vertical motion is false
Answer: False
<u>Explanation:
</u>
As the trajectory falls on a plane, all the components like displacement, velocity can be classified in two components termed as horizontal and vertical component.
In a projectile motion, the horizontal components of displacement and velocity remains constant and there is change only in the vertical component of displacement and velocity.
Both components are not dependent to each other. So, the horizontal motions of a launched projectile does not affect its vertical motion.
An object is thrown horizontally from the open
window of a building. If the initial speed of the
object is 20 m/s and it hits the ground 2.0 s later,
from what height was it thrown? (Neglect air
resistance and assume the ground is level.)
Initial vertical velocity = 0
formula: s = ut + (1/2)*g*t^2
s = 0 + 1/2*9.8*2^2
s = 9.8*2 = 19.6 m
Answer:
The number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is,
Explanation:
If d is the separation between slits, D is the distance between the slit and the screen and is the wavelength of the light. Let x is the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is given by :
is the wavelength
n is the order
If n = 1,
So, the the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is . Hence, the correct option is (B).
